Buckling…

T-flex needs to get fully fixed to the truck as shown in the diagram below. The main target of tying is to prevent the T-flex from moving forward & backward on the floor. In case of a sudden break, the movement towards the front of the truck is critical. Please observe the diagram below and ensure that the buckles are fixed to the lashing loops at similar angles as shown in the diagram below.
